It all started out with my son's love for turnout blankets. He was using washcloths. I decided to make him his own for his little horse. And then, I got carried away. (Surprising, right?!)
Anyway, here it is. I remember my pretend play days as a kid, and this just makes me giddy with excitement.
So, what's in it...
A "Ty" beanie baby horse that a friend gave us.
A lightweight and a heavyweight turnout blanket that I made.
Bridle/reins that I made (with my new clever snap apparatus!)
Miniature blocks for making fences and horse jumps (thrifted...paid a buck).
Two metal buckets.
A baby brush that I have never had to use since my babies are bald.
A homemade felt apple and carrot (not sewn to size because I have learned that little pieces get lost).
And perhaps his favorite part...little hair ties that are perfect for bandaging up the legs on the horse.
I threw in one of our dollhouse people...and we have a set.
They fit perfectly into this wooden thrifted box that I couldn't pass up. It's so easy to travel with.
All of this, I pretty much had around the house or got for a dollar or two at a thrift shop. And now it's a marvelous set for next to nothing.
Goodness, he loves it.
Hours of fun.
Fun for the whole family.
And in case you missed my other playsets...
Here's the puppy playset:
And here's the bear playset:
And now the horse playset. And I can't wait to dream up of another.
You are AMAZING! I would have loved playing with a set like this when I was little, *cough* and I still would. What a fantastic imagination you have. I just love you little Mama. xoxo
